Re: T5 tuning kit

Many have different opinions on 2 stroke oil percentage but when I was using autolube I always added 1% into the tank on my kitted T5. Ok, so the autolube will still work, but as you've said (depending on the kit) I will need to add some to the tank too. At least that confirms I don't have to disco...

Re: T5 tuning kit

I thought all the tuning kits work with autolube, it is only when you start messing with the carb that the autolube is disturbed/ affected. And a standard 24 SI/G carb can and does support approx 22hp+ using the T5 filter and convoluted hose to the frame. That's good to hear. The kits I've looked a...

Thanks for the reply. I've done some more digging and it sounds like a solid scooter! Now I just need to buy it :)

Lambretta 125 indian import

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if Indian imports (re-registered in UK) are ok? I have the chance to get one, but wanted to make sure before even looking at it. It's a 75 reg.

Thanks.

Re: Running up that hill!

Have you been up this hill on a px 125?? Hi, no, not yet. A friend has a derestricted Vespa 50 (not quite the same I know), but it struggles on some of them And there's more than one! Thanks for the advice too. Its been quite a few years since I've had a scooter and that was only a 50. It might be ...

Re: Running up that hill!

[/quote] Hello Craig, yep a 177 kit ( or similar) would be a better performer than the 150cc top end but as its a standard fitting the 150 is more plug and play. The kits really needs the gearing to be up-rated and a increase in carb size to run well. As for technical advice - a copy of the Haynes M...

Re: Running up that hill!

Hiya, a useful and easy update for a PX125 engine is a 150cc top end, straightforward to fit , uses the same exhaust and carb. Just needs a up-jet carburettor wise and maybe adjust the stator plate timing. It provides a very useful increase in torque and a few extra MPH'S . ;) all the best Paul Tha...

Running up that hill!

Hi all, I've searched the forum for related modification posts, but imagine there must be upgraded parts coming on the market all the time (last post I could find with any relevance was 2017). I'm getting a standard PX 125 (2001), but were I live there are a few hills, one is affectionally known loc...
